The more I look at it, the more I'm inclined to think that it's totally
useless. I don't think anyone wants tables removed from Org syntax.

Though, occasionally some line starting with "|" can be interpreted as
a table. In this case, it's possible to use "\vert" entity anyway.

I'm not sure it is worth fixing. I think we really should remove it, or
change its meaning, like "|:nil means that all tables are ignored in
export process" (which is probably almost as useless). The same goes for
"::nil".

I attach a patch that should solve this (but doesn't handle tables or
fixed-width areas).
